HC Sean Payton said Ingram plans to attend mandatory minicamp from June 12-14 after skipping the rest of the offseason program with hopes of getting a new contract.Brown Thinks Le'Veon Bell Should Join His Teammateshttp://www.footballdiehards.com/fantasy-football-NV/NewsAndViews-36367.html
Bell is the only player on the 90-man roster absent from Steelers' organized team activities. They are voluntary for any player, but particularly so for Bell who is not under contract because he has not signed the franchise-tag tender presented to him early this spring. Antonio Brown stays in touch with his teammate and friend, Bell -- even if the latter is not training with him at team headquarters this month. "I tell him how his (rap) tape is not that good," Brown said, smiling. "(And) how he should come out here (to Pittsburgh) and (practice) with me."Ryan Tannehill Will Play With A Bracehttp://www.footballdiehards.com/fantasy-football-NV/NewsAndViews-36366.html
Tannehill looked good Wednesday, the second day of this week’s three-day organized team activities. He appeared agile and confident. Tannehill didn’t wear a brace Tuesday or Wednesday on his left knee, the one that’s been injured twice and kept him sidelined since December 2016. But he said he’ll wear it during the regular season. “I’ll wear a brace,” he said. “It does nothing structurally. It’s purely to prevent what started that whole train wreck with my injury.”Kevin White Still Believes In Himselfhttp://www.footballdiehards.com/fantasy-football-NV/NewsAndViews-36365.html
The Bears declined to exercise their fifth-year option on White's contract this offseason in a move that couldn’t have taken anyone by surprise. In a series of short answers to questions from reporters on Wednesday, White shrugged off the decision. “I’m motivated every single day, with or without the option. ... Don’t know [if the Bears believe in me],” White said. “Really doesn’t bother me at all. I believe in myself.”Zay Jones Will Miss Rest Of Offseason Program Following Knee Surgeryhttp://www.footballdiehards.com/fantasy-football-NV/NewsAndViews-36364.html
Bills’ HC Sean McDermott announced Jones underwent knee surgery and will miss the remainder of the offseason program.Falcons Sign FB Ricky Ortizhttp://www.footballdiehards.com/fantasy-football-NV/NewsAndViews-36363.html
The Falcons signed Ortiz and waived cornerback Joseph Putu on Wednesday.Andrew Luck Still Not Throwing; Colts Still Not Worriedhttp://www.footballdiehards.com/fantasy-football-NV/NewsAndViews-36362.html
They’re sticking to the process, and not fretting that the process has yet to include Luck picking up a regulation football and firing it across the practice field. “No, I’m not worried at all,’’ coach Frank Reich said after Wednesday’s OTA session.Report: Patriots, Rob Gronkowski Nearing Reworked Contracthttp://www.footballdiehards.com/fantasy-football-NV/NewsAndViews-36361.html
The Patriots and Gronkowski are nearing a reworked contract, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports. Howe adds it is unknown whether the All-Pro tight end will sign an extension or simply earn a raise. The sides have worked toward a renegotiated deal since last month when Gronkowski committed to playing this season.Aaron Rodgers Won't Hesitate To Leave The Pockethttp://www.footballdiehards.com/fantasy-football-NV/NewsAndViews-36360.html
The first time the question was posed to Rodgers back in November, shortly after he broke his collarbone for the second time in four seasons, a lengthy pause followed. This time, when the QB was asked whether he needs to change his style of play -- to stay in the pocket more often rather than subject himself to the kind of hits that led to the two biggest injuries of his career -- he answered without hesitation. "Nope," Rodgers said.Ezekiel Elliott Knows The Player He Ishttp://www.footballdiehards.com/fantasy-football-NV/NewsAndViews-36359.html
Elliott ranked 54th in the NFL Network’s list of top-100 players. No one had to tell him. The Cowboys running back already knew. “It is what it is. I missed six games,” Elliott said Wednesday. Elliott, though, concedes that his ranking “should be” higher a year from now. He ranked seventh a year ago after he led the league in rushing with 1,631 yards and scored 15 touchdowns. “I know the player I am,” Elliott said. “You guys know the player I am. Everyone in the league knows the player I am. So I don’t really need verification from a top-100 list.”Davante Adams Will Work Inside And Outsidehttp://www.footballdiehards.com/fantasy-football-NV/NewsAndViews-36358.html
On the field, Adams’ role won’t change much. He already started his transition to being the Packers' No. 1 receiver in 2017. Aaron Rodgers suggested Adams might get more snaps inside this fall, alternating between the perimeter and slot much like Jordy Nelson did the past couple years.
Jarvis Landry Thinks He's The NFL's Best WRhttp://www.footballdiehards.com/fantasy-football-NV/NewsAndViews-36357.html
Landry has more catches than any other player in NFL history in his first four seasons. Yet, Landry ranked only 52nd in the NFL Network’s list of top-100 players. Landry considers himself better than that. In fact, he considers himself “the best.”Duke Johnson Optimistic About Getting A Long-Term Deal From Brownshttp://www.footballdiehards.com/fantasy-football-NV/NewsAndViews-36356.html
Johnson says that he and the Browns are in discussions about a contract extension, and he's "very optimistic" the two sides will come to an agreement.Bernard Reedy Back With Buccaneershttp://www.footballdiehards.com/fantasy-football-NV/NewsAndViews-36355.html
Reedy opened last season with the Buccaneers and he’ll try to do the same after closing out the 2017 campaign with the Patriots. The Buccaneers announced that they have signed Reedy to their 90-man roster on Wednesday. They waived wide receiver Thomas Sperbeck, who joined the team last week, with an injury designation.Marcus Mariota Working Without A Knee Bracehttp://www.footballdiehards.com/fantasy-football-NV/NewsAndViews-36354.html
